Which statement describes the reactions in an electrochemical cell
34kurt

Answer & explanation:

Summary on electrochemical cells and redox reactions:

Electrochemical cells (or batteries) can be defined as devices capable of transforming chemical energy into electrical energy through spontaneous reactions of redox, in which electron transfer occurs.

Redox it is a chemical reaction in which there is the occurrence of oxidation and reduction of atoms of substances (chemical species) present in the process.

<u>Oxidation</u> is the loss of electrons by an atom of a chemical species, while <u>reduction</u> is the gain of electrons by an atom of a chemical species.

Thus, during an oxirreduction reaction, electrons move from the species that loses them towards the species that will receive them. This "movement" results in the formation of an electric current (or electrical energy) as occurs with batteries, for example.

What is the ph of a buffer prepared by adding 0.809 mol of the weak acid ha to 0.608 mol of naa in 2.00 l of solution? The disso
Anarel [89]

The pH of the buffer is 6.1236.

Explanation:

The strength of any acid solution can be obtained by determining their pH. Even the buffer solution strength of the weak acid can be determined using pH. As the dissociation constant is given, we can determine the pKa value as the negative log of dissociation constant value.

pKa=-log[H] = - log [ 5.66 * 10^{-7}]\\ \\pka = 7 - log (5.66)=7-0.753=6.247\\\\pka = 6.247

The pH of the buffer can be known as

pH = pK_{a} + log[\frac{[A-]}{[HA]}}]

The concentration of [A^{-}] = Moles of [A]/Total volume = 0.608/2 = 0.304 M\\

Similarly, the concentration of [HA] = \frac{Moles of HA}{Total volume} = \frac{0.809}{2} = 0.404

Then the pH of the buffer will be

pH = 6.247 + log [ 0.304/0.404]

pH = 6.247 + log 0.304 - log 0.404=6.247-0.517+0.3936=6.1236

So, the pH of the buffer is 6.1236.

Consider the chemical reaction in equilibrium.
Zarrin [17]
This is an application of Le Chatlier's principle:  What happens when we add a reagent to one side of an equation? The reaction will shift to the other side.  So heat is a reactant and we're adding more of it, the reaction must therefore, shift to the right ( or the products side).

Las Vegas Raiders' running back Josh Jacobs is 72 inches tall and has mass of 100 kg. Los
gladu [14]

Answer:

Josh is running at a speed of 9.09 yards per second.

Josh's velocity is 9.09 East.

Josh's force is 900 N.

Aaron Donald's force is 845 N.

Yes Josh scores the touchdown because he is faster and has more mass than Donald.

Explanation:

Josh scores the touchdown as he is heavier and faster than Donald.

Formulas are:

Force= mass x acceleration

Speed= distance divided by time.

Velocity= distance divided by time.
